One of my favorite albums of all time."Shooting Rubberbands At The Stars" is a phenomenal album. It reminds me of when I met my wife 20 years ago. This album represents so much in my life that I could never part with such a beautiful collection of songs.
oh yeah, I named my kid after her, Brickell,, what an AWEsome daugther, and knew her in Deep Ellum, but yet she can't give me the respect of talking or e-mailing me on my daughters 20th birthday?!? She is too HIGH
Being alone sure is liberating.You don't have to put up any false pretenses to anyone. You don't have feel like you are compelled to do what people want.You can truly say to others -'4uck off'
Check out Phoebe Peek, she's just thirteen years old from England and writing the most amazing stuff, love her Careful What You Wish For - back to the old days of real singer songwriters
Edie's songs suit her so well. Let's also give credit to band NEW BOHEMIANS! great song writing. so fresh and nice. just always good singalong feel good songs you can relate to. Great collaborating. The stars were aligned when edie and NB hooked up. Great! Great! Love it.
great song and videao. Love Edie. There seems to be a tension at play in video, that all the guys want Edie. Edie just wants to be left alone. Great drama....
I too forgot about this song, until someone helped me remember it and put me back on ground. When I'm all alone, nobody else can say goodbye =( great song....so real
well she bought and from a girl named barbara.i would say the last name but that TOO much info.i no her.i swear.and she wrote this song.this on and the song nothing.she wrote another one but i forget wat its called....so yea
Are you sure about that ? I have the original album here in front of me, and according to the info on the sleeve, the lyrics are written by Edie and the music by band member Kenny Withrow.
It always seems hard, to reach a finite point of exhaustion in which you've reached out to someone only to turn back time and again; a point where you have to take care of yourself and let the other person go... hoping they will eventually come back around.
i heard this song for the first time when i saw cold case on tv and my mom wanted me to get her this song so i watched the same ep this song was played and then the voice of the singer sounded familier and then it hit me that it was the singer that sings what i am.
Hey Gang, I am a 42 year old Disc Jockey and My son is 20................He loves this and is extremely picky for his age. Listen to the lyrics and love it.................Best from Tracy
I fell in Love with this girl the first time I saw her on MTV back when they played real music...The same year Shooting rubberbands at the stars came out.
i first heard this song as a cover by sugarland and i loved it but i like it by edie brickell but i like sugarlands version better. Jennifers voice is more powerful.
A deep profound song, that touches the soul. Once in a great while among the sea of songs that comes out today, you"ll find a great song that relates to our lifes and touches the soul. This is one of them. Thank you to edie brickell & new bohemians
Sa fait plaisir de voir quelqu'un qui suit bien Cold Case :) Mon préféré c'est avec le déficient mental et son lapin... je ne connais pas le titre mais enorme^^
this is a great song, makes me want to go out and buy edie brickell for the third cursed time. I already bought the cassette once, the cd once (lost it long time ago) and now I would have to buy it for the third time. Go see a movie or buy edie brickell cd, big decision. Got to think that over.
This song and I Do were the most haunting on the album. My brother still thanks me for introducing him to this band. (That last sentence should be read as, "Motherfucker stole my CD when he left for university.")
hahah i heard this song on a video in my health class. and i have to say it was my faveorite part of the video!!! i love this song..idk if its happy or sad. but i dont really care its just amazing!
what ever happened to this kind of sexy?? she is not snail trailing down the stage or TRYING to be ,she just is good old fashion talent and damn sexy wow i never tire of her and this incredible group
It makes me feel happy...to quit and give up trying to please everyone else when they're never satisfied anyhow. Being by myself relieved me of the duties of listening to people spill their shite attitudes on me....Being alone is the best way to be! I feel much better : P Lol Jameson also makes me feel pretty happy too Irishninja!
Seriously? You really think that? It's obviously about some douche that just left her and her feeling upset about it. "Everything is temporary...being by myself is the best place to be...nobody can say goodbye when you're alone." I quit I give up, I'm going to stop trying because relationships are too hard.
Oh i get it, maybe she's sad about losing touch with someone she liked a lot, and now she' trying to talk herself into feeling better about the situation. But she's really not happy.
Edie recently released a CD called The Heavy Circles. You should pick up a copy. It's fantastic. Edie is set to release a CD under the title "The Gaddabouts" with drummer Steve Gadd, guitarist Andy Fairweather Low and bassist Pino Pallidino. It should be out this year.
what changes since I first heard this. I love the melody and lyrrics. I really would love to hear the story of this -since it holds so many of our memories. Did I say I love the melodrama- I will post a vid to leave a stamp.
she's married to simon¡/!very talented !!
